Aged and Salted Ricotta Cheese Montella with Red Peppers
A very tasty version of our salted and matured sheep ricotta, with the addition of small pieces of red chilli pepper. It is made like fresh sheep ricottas from the sheep milk whey. It is then pressed, salted and cured to acquire the ideal consistency for grating. The paste is hard and compact, white in colour punctuated by the red of the chilli pepper.
The sapid and intense flavour of matured ricotta is enhanced by the scent and spiciness of the red chilli pepper. You can enjoy it by itself or you can add it to a platter of cheeses and cold cuts for appetizers. Grated, it can give an intense and surprising taste to first courses.
